No codex turret has ever had a coaxial Storm Bolter, so far as I know. Best guess is Forgeworld, or just some schmuck fething around.

It almost looks like a Baneblade cannon.

I think it's an OOP forge world turret. Probably it had a coaxial Heavy stubber which got lost and replaced with that storm bolter.

I believe that is going to be a converted Vanquisher turret from Forgeworld, possibly.

Here's my Vanquisher turret sans any paint:



There are some similarities, but I would guess it started as a Vanquisher turret and was heavily converted up to be.. something else. Possibly fielded as a Conqueror, or a standard LRBT with a unique looking barrel. It could also pass as a Eradicator as well with a little work, possibly.

I'm at a loss beyond that. It might be an original cast/sculpt, as I'm not 100% on all of the different FW Russ variants, especially the OOP varieties. It's a cool looking turret all the same.

Hope that helps. Take it easy.

I'ts a Leman Russ Conqueror turret made by Forgeworld.

It's not a conversion and had a co-axel storm bolter just like the older patterns of vanquisher turret FW produced. It is now OOP but used to be quite common in the past, it's rules are in Imperial armour volume 1:

I'll second it for being a FW Conqueror turret

Thanks everyone for the replies! Yeah I got two of these in a recent trade. Sure enough the Conqueror turret seems to be it. I even found it in battlesribe. Could be a alternative to the standard gun on a russ since it doesn't have ordnance. Pask might even be a good choice since is BS will negate some of the scatter.
